Soul Control by C Elizabeth Review

About the Author

C. Elizabeth lives in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada and during her short writing career she’s learned a lot about herself, sometimes to the point that she wonders how the heck she got this far in life and know so little about herself.

For the majority of her life she dabbled in many things, such as drawing, photography, sewing, only to find that after a while, she would lose interest, but writing is a different story — it found her and continues to be an addiction, as well as a most wonderful, incredible passion.

Not only does she write novels, but she does whatever she can to hone her craft. Such as attending the New York Pitch Conference, seminars and the like, as well, she writes for online magazines on the topic of… you guessed it, writing.

Book Information

Book Description

“‘Lead us not into temptation, deliver us from evil.’

Words of truth for seventeen-year-old Saydi Gardiner upon discovering her ancestry. But if she has doubts, further confirmation is forthcoming and it comes in the form of a wickedly gorgeous Nathanael Braxton, when he steals her heart and cuddles into her soul — the last place the boy should be.

Nineteen-year-old Nathanael’s unrelenting good looks aren’t the only thing that make him dangerous — and he knows it! However, his caring human self struggles with a loyalty — a loyalty that binds him to the hunt for the soul that will give his family the power they seek. There’s only one problem: When he finds her, Nathanael falls in love with his prey — Saydi.”

My Review

At it’s core Soul Control is a typical YA Good vs Evil novel, however, the unique way that the characters are written makes it so much more. Saydi (Good) learns at the beginning of the book that her long thought dead father is not only actually alive but a God as well. To make matters worse for Saydi the guy she has the hots for, Nathanael (Evil), is actually half demon. He’ll not only need to resist the pull of his demon half to not kill Saydi, but the pull of his family as well.

While the overall story was quite good and kept me turning the pages to find out more, there were some issues I had with the story. First off I found Saydi to not only be hard to connect with but just annoying overall. There were times she would take issue with things that really she shouldn’t and times where the reverse were true. Also, the fact that her and Nathanael seemed to fight all the time was a bit off putting. This is supposed to be a YA novel and I don’t think that having the heroine stay with the guy that she’s constantly fighting with sets a good example. Personally, I would have liked for them to fight less and spend more time with either her teachers or Nathanael’s triplet brothers.

Overall, this book was quite good. Like I said there were a few issues I had with it but they weren’t enough to keep me from finishing the book. If you like YA Paranormal head over to Amazon and at least check out the excerpt.

Thank you for offering such an indepth review. So many times I see reviews that really don’t tell me more than the description on Amazon. Your reviews really give me some insight into the stories – both good and bad. I have a teen who I think would love this, especially since it’s paranormal.

2 weeks agoby southeastbymidwestYes it's no longer July BUT in my defense it's only August 3rd so I classify that as winning. If you don't know what I'm going on about, it's time for my July @boxycharm unboxing and the review of some of my June Boxycharm products. The past few months I was only doing unboxings and I was doing them so late I was doing them two months at a time. SO the fact that I reviewed June products and got the July unboxing up and it's only August 3rd is a win. Oh and obvs one of the products that

2 weeks agoby southeastbymidwestCan y'all even at this PR package that I just got from @pacificabeauty ?! I don't know what I'm loving more the tissue paper, the bag, or the actual products. I can hear you you asking through the screen, what ARE those products?! The product on the bottom are the Underarm Deodorant Wipes with Coconut Milk and Essential Oils. The spray at the top is the new Coconut Vanilla Underarm Deodorant Spray that is made without aluminum! Both of these are great to throw in your bag, your gym bag, or just have in the car for touch-ups throughout the

2 weeks agoby southeastbymidwestI don't know about you but as a YouTuber I love seeing brands collabing with YouTubers. I especially love when they do it multiple times. Can you believe that @maccosmetics has collabed with @patrickstarrr three times, yes that's right THREE! This is part of the MAC x Patrick Starrr Me So Chic set, the lipglass is hiding on the other side of the powder blush duo...it's a shy little thing, that I'm reviewing on the blog and my YouTube channel. I also have some swatches over there as well...not Instagram quality swatches hence their not being on here but swatches

2 weeks agoby southeastbymidwestWe all know that I'm a bit behind on my reviews so lets just get past the fact that these @klpolish polishes were released several months ago. Let's instead talk about how amazing KL Polish Paper Snow and KL Polish Tuxedo Mask look on the nails, don't believe me head over to the clickable link in my profile to see the swatches. Paper Snow seriously reminds me of when I use to paint my nails with White Out when I was a teenager...what don't judge me it was the late 90's early 00's I'm sure others did worse with beauty
